[apurrstate]

i'll have to agree with you there. i barely want to be laying here, but someone has decided i'm an invalid.

would that someone happen to be your not-husband-for-some-silly-reason?

[He types and erases several things before finally managing to find some sort of response.

'what?' 'why are you-?' 'where did you?'

As it is, his responses come in quick, slightly anxious, succession.]

Are you prying into my personal relations, Commander?

It's not a silly reason

He's talked to you about this, hasn't he!?

[bryces_pup]

just an observation :) ten years is an awfully long time...

Text

[apurrstate]

It's been seven.

[That sounds petulant even in text.]

I tried to keep him at arm's length for three of those ten. I wasn't successful because he's foolish.
It's because he's foolish and misguided that I continued to turn down his proposals.

I'm sure there's something else we could be talking about.

or he's madly in love with you and isn't going anywhere and wants to pledge his devotion to you.

but fiiiiiiiine.

[This isn't over, bucko.]

what do you propose we talk about?

[apurrstate]

[He's glad it's over for now, at least.]

I don't know, anything else. How about...

How about Justice and the fact he can't seem to understand he doesn't need to look dead or steal Kristoff's 'life' if he can control how he looks. Did he explain that one to you?

[bryces_pup]

yes, he did. i DID actually talk to him more in depth about it, too, about changing his looks. in fact, i said I was going to talk to you about it first. he needs a do-over.

[apurrstate]

I'm glad you knew exactly who to go to for this.

Where should we start, do you think? A particular aspect of the face and go from there, or just his whole everything and start from scratch?

[bryces_pup]

whole everything. the entirety of him needs a do-over.
we should agree on some basic points and narrow down the details from there.

[apurrstate]

Fair enough.

So, the whole everything. Well...

He ought to be hot. Looks aren't everything, but people will take pity on the awkward attractive man rather than the awkward corpse.

[bryces_pup]

Naturally! We'd be giving him the best possible chance for success with interacting with other people, as no, looks aren't everything but we all know that people can be shallow.

so then i suppose it comes down to what we'd consider "attractive".

[apurrstate]

A strong jawline. Not too big on the forehead, rounder cheeks maybe. He could keep the color of his eyes as long as they aren't too 'dead' looking.

[bryces_pup]

yes, yes yes and yes. dark hair, methinks? would go well with his eyes. and nice full lips.

[apurrstate]

I think this is coming together nicely. Do we know anyone who could draw this whole thing up? My art skills are just sad.

[bryces_pup]

Mine aren't great either. I don't know of any artists off the top of my head, just people i would NOT let draw it

[apurrstate]

Sadly true. Perhaps we can just pose the suggestions o him and see what he comes up with.

[bryces_pup]

might be our best bet. he can probably visualize well enough, and we'll fill in details as needed.

also at some point he's going to need a wardrobe, but one step at a time.

[apurrstate]

Agreed, but part of that will also depend on finding a planet with decent enough clothing to choose from.

But no amount of finery will stop someone from looking dead, so we should plan our intervention.
Once we can reliably be up again.

[bryces_pup]

maybe in a week or so? I should be up for it by then.

[apurrstate]

Perfect. He'll never suspect it.

Now you should probably get more rest. Healer's orders. ;3

[bryces_pup]

not a one. It'll be amazing.

Fine fine. But before I do so. What does :3 mean??

[apurrstate]

It's a cat! The 3 makes the little kitty mouth and the :
are it's eyes, see? It's an emote, Wolf's taught me a few.

Although I figured out ^._.^~ by myself.

[He's way more proud of his cat emotes than he should be, can you tell?]

[bryces_pup]

OH. now i see it. oh that's cute

:3

i wonder if there's one for a dog?
